Practical case examples
From launching a business to expanding into a wider market — concrete examples of how a business idea, finances, sales and operations turn into a workable business framework.

- 02Structuring→

- 04Execution
These examples show two different business contexts: launching a new business and developing an existing production company toward a wider market. They are not classic client references, but practical examples of work on business structure, financial logic, market positioning, sales, operations and execution.
The examples include own and connected business projects. Their purpose is to show the way of thinking, the type of problems and the practical approach Meridian uses in its work.
What these examples show
In both examples the emphasis is not just on a single document, website or marketing activity. The focus is on the business logic behind the project: who the customer is, what the offer is, how revenue is generated, what the initial or growth risks are, what must be clear before going to market, and how operational decisions affect sales.

Barbarelle — business launch, positioning and operational setup
Context
Barbarelle is an example of launching a local service business where the initial idea had to be turned into a clear business model. In projects like this, the point is not only to write a business plan, but to clearly explain the market, the offer, the initial investments, expected revenue, the operational model and financial viability.
What was done
- Structuring the business idea and the basic business model
- Preparing the business plan for the HZZ self-employment grant
- Working out initial investments and the financial setup
- Defining services, the core offer and market positioning
- Setting up the basic digital infrastructure to present the services
- Designing the booking logic and customer journey from interest to reservation
- Connecting the business plan with the real operational needs of launching
Outcome
The HZZ self-employment grant was approved, and the project received a clear business, financial and digital framework for launch. The initial idea was turned into a more structured business model with defined services, initial costs, market positioning and a basic path to the customer.
Poly-Plast — B2B sales, procurement logic and EU market development
Context
Poly-Plast is an example of a local production business that was developing toward an international B2B market. For manufacturers, entering a wider market does not depend only on a website or a single sales message. Products, target customers, technical documentation, terms of cooperation, the sales process, customer communication and the ability to respond to market requirements all have to be clearly defined.
What was done
- Analysis of target EU markets, in particular Germany, Austria and Italy
- Defining target B2B customers and industrial segments
- Structuring the sales approach toward international customers
- Designing cold outreach and follow-up communication
- Preparing multilingual sales and technical communication
- Clearer positioning of products, materials, diameters, packaging and terms
- Developing a multilingual web structure for the international market
- SEO and content structure focused on products, applications and markets
- Communication with potential EU customers through inquiries, samples, testing and offers
- Laying the foundation for a more structured B2B sales pipeline
Outcome
The local production company gained a clearer international sales framework. Sales activities were extended toward the EU market, communication with industrial customers became more structured, and the products were presented through a clearer technical, sales and web structure. This created the basis for gradually expanding sales opportunities beyond the domestic market.
Locally oriented presentation and a less structured international approach.
Clearer B2B sales approach, multilingual market presentation and active opening of EU sales opportunities.
What these examples have in common
In both cases the focus was on connecting the business idea with execution. That means decisions are not viewed in isolation: the business plan needs financial logic, the website needs to support sales, sales communication needs to fit the market, and the operational model needs to be clear enough for the business to actually be run.
- 01Business structure
Idea, offer, customers, costs and revenue must be connected into a clear model.
- 02Market approach
Communication must fit the real customer, market and the decision the customer is making.
- 03Execution
A plan only has value once it can be translated into concrete steps, responsibilities and operational decisions.
